What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cybersecurity where I can leverage my expertise to enhance security measures and foster a collaborative team environment.

As a dedicated cybersecurity advisor and co-founder at Cyberstrykers, I lead strategic initiatives and ensure operational efficiency while managing risks that could impact our reputation and financial health. My experience includes guiding SaaS clients through SOC2 Type II compliance and ISO 27001 certification, showcasing my commitment to enhancing security measures.

Previously, I served as a cybersecurity consultant at Renaud-Bray, where I acted as the primary liaison between external SOC teams and internal stakeholders, ensuring swift incident resolution. My role involved recommending and optimizing security solutions, leading security projects, and drafting security policies to maintain compliance with cybersecurity standards.

With a solid foundation as an Information Security Specialist at Hitachi Systems Security, I focused on risk assessment, identity management, and incident response. My technical expertise spans various tools and protocols, enabling me to implement robust security measures and ensure regulatory compliance effectively.
